Indian Opinion Analysis

The Trivandrum Tennis Club initiative aligns well with efforts to promote sports among children while also fostering inclusivity in access to recreational opportunities such as tennis. By targeting both age-specific groups through ‘Open Tennis Day’ and socio-economically disadvantaged students with the community programme, this effort also addresses key barriers such as cost and accessibility that frequently enough prevent widespread participation in niche sports like tennis in India.

Such grassroots initiatives play an essential role in broadening awareness of lesser-followed sports beyond cricket, which dominates public interest. Long-term engagement programmes could convert early exposure into broader participation within these communities over time. More institutions undertaking similar outreach could substantially impact India’s overall advancement in non-mainstream sports disciplines.
